The driver has now been suspended and the tour guide sent back to China in disgrace following the incident on Wednesday.

BM Coaches, which supplied the vehicle, said the stop was not part of the official itinerary.

Their operations director James Buckingham said: “I would like to apologise most sincerely on behalf of BM Coaches for the insensitive actions of the group we were contracted to supply transportation to.”

They have also made a donation to the official Grenfell Fund.

Following the tragedy locals have demanded people stop taking selfies with the tower in the background.
